Craftsman Automation began with one California store in 1980. The 1990’s saw major expansion and the company went public on the Nasdaq stock exchange in 1998. During the recession and financial crisis of the 2000s people were not purchasing discretionary items. Restoration Hardware hit a rocky road and was taken private in 2008. It manufactures auto components.

Craftsman Automation IPO Updates
Craftsman Automation is currently experiencing an IPO high. Often investors feel they must buy a stock and jump on the bandwagon before the price surges and gets away from them. However that scenario rarely happens. Smart investors wait a few weeks after the IPO hype to purchase the stock.
The stock market does not like uncertainty. Pre-election unknowns riled markets and currently the looming fiscal cliff is contributing to market volatility. Potential investors might consider waiting until after the first of the year. Less market volatility should allow the market and specifically Craftsman Automation stock to settle into a trading range.
